    Yup, more perfect golf weather to look out at longingly. Gonna try head into a local field with a matt and a bunch of balls, and hope no one kicks me out.

    I'd love some more things to do around the house, I've done them all and if I could get the gear if the suppliers were open I'd do a lot more.

    Just looking at the monthly weather data from Met Eireann here; you can pick your nearest weather station from the map and get the data.

    The Phoenix park station recorded 2.6mm of rain so far in May, 13.6mm in April and 30.7mm in March. That's a total of less than two inches of rain in almost three months. :eek:

    Fair amount overnight, but it's only light now. Not out till 3pm, so it'll probably dry up.

    Don't care either way, playing golf today!

    Couldn't see down first at my club in Galway. Cleared a little before descending again. Probably be like that all day. Tis a shame but the golf course does need a few days of rain

    Rain badly needed though. Our fairways were starting to look a bit brown in places.

    Course was closed yesterday until 1pm so open comp cancelled. I'm actually really annoyed because I still went ahead with my 4pm tee time(casual only) and the course was perfect, I've played competitions with it in much worse conditions. Time running out to try get my handicap down this year

    Feels warranted to bump this, at least down in Kerry. Feckin weather! Won't stop raining, and i'm desperate for a round.

    In fairness the last few days have been nice in Kildare but it's still quite cold and windy. Lot of rain during the week too. Got out yesterday but the track was very wet once you got off the fairways.

    Yes indeed here in North Kerry it's absolutely saturated and this week not looking great either. Not a member of a links either so no getting out now. Wind is just as bad

    I think this thread needs a bump.

    I haven’t known a golf season like it. Preferred lies on the August weekend. Didn’t get summer rules until into May. And it’s not a ‘wet’ course it’s had sanding/drainage done very recently.

    maybe 2024 will be better
